Whereas in this situation, now we're gonna have the ring, but instead of it being upright and all the field lines passing through it, what happens is that these electric field lines will pass directly over it. So that means the electric flux is going to be all or maximum or something like that. And in this case, we can say that this ring has sort of like caught all of these electric field lines. Well, in this situation, basically the flux is how much of these lines will pass through the surface. So we've got these couple of examples right here, imagine these blue lines represent the electric field and this represents just a surface kind of like a ring I was just talking about. So when we talk about electric flux, we're gonna be talking about the electric field and specifically how much of this electric field will pass through a surface. The way I like to think about this is kind of like if this field here was like a river and you were to stick like a ring inside of it, how much water passes through the ring? That's sort of how I like to think about flux. So basically, the flux of anything flux is just a measure of how much of something passes through a surface. You'll definitely need it to solve problems, especially when we start talking about Gauss's law. It's a concept that is very important in electrostatics. So for this video, I wanna talk about electric flux. ![]()
